Chapter 499 Flaws
Yang Zheng is like a storm, while Chen Tai is like a rock in the river.

This battle was almost the same as Wei Qing's battle against the Xiongnu in those days. The cavalry was strong, which was the strength of the Huns, while the other side had many infantry and few cavalry, which was the strength of the Han army.

Wugang chariots are equipped with spears and hard crossbows, and light cavalry are looking for death when they go up. Heavy cavalry cannot afford to consume them, and it may not be effective.

Even if the cavalry suffered heavy casualties and broke through these Wugang chariots, they would not be able to break through the layers of spear formations behind them.

A few cavalrymen waved their command flags and rushed out of Wugang's chariot, running straight in front of the Liangzhou cavalrymen, and shouted brazenly, "You traitors and beasts, hurry up and die!"

"Damn it, don't run away!" Liu Heng cursed.

But those cavalrymen yelled a few times and turned around and ran away.

Yang Zheng was amused, and waved his hand, "Back!"

Don't hit the majestic array.

Wu Gang's carts were all pushed up, there was no need to smash to death, and several cities on the north bank were all abandoned.

The advantage of cavalry is movement.

Chen Tai can't push Wu Gang's car to chase him down, can he?
With Yang Zheng's order, tens of thousands of cavalry retreated slowly.

"Just leave like this?" Liu Heng looked unwilling.

"If you can fight, if you can't fight, then leave. What are a few small cities?" Yang Zheng said seriously, and he also said it for the other generals to listen to.

Fortunately, the generals all looked as usual, and they didn't feel anything.

People with a strategic vision can naturally see that Hedong can't hold it at all.

Without Guanzhong, Tongguan, and Linjin, Sima Zhao's army overwhelmed him, and this piece of land became a hot potato instead. Defending the city with cavalry is tantamount to sacrificing strengths and taking weaknesses.

Surrounded by mountains, this place is a typical basin, which is not conducive to decisive cavalry battles.

"Let Jiang Faye abandon Puban and join me to attack Yanghu together!" Yang Zheng stopped messing with Liu Heng.

This guy looks rough, but in his heart he is more of a thief than anyone else.

That day during the battle in Chang'an, this guy bullied the weak and feared the strong, dared not chase Wen Yang, and kept chasing and killing Pang Hui.

Sima Zhao, Chen Qian, Yang Hu, the most threatening one is Yang Hu.

Once he entered Linjin, it was impossible for him to advance and retreat so calmly.

Sima Liang is mediocre, but Yang Hu is not. It is very likely that he will be the enemy in the future.

All enemies should be nipped in the bud.

Take Yanghu, and Guanzhong will be in your hands.

The cavalry is playing tricks, avoiding the truth.

After two days of marching back to Puban, Jiang Faye had already assembled outside the city, loading grain into ox carts and horse carts.

Unexpectedly, hundreds of people went out of the city to see them off.

The people are like this, whoever treats them well, they will remember it for a lifetime.

"Will the lord leave without me?" Several elders bowed their hands and saluted.

Yang Zheng got off his horse and returned the gift, "Everyone, take care, I will definitely return someday!"

Wang Zhuo's thieves' eyes kept flickering, "Your Majesty's words are true, I wish you all the best!"

With Taiyuan Wang's support behind him, Sima Zhao would most likely not kill him, at most he would be relegated.

And at the beginning, he also actively resisted, and had to surrender due to lack of strength.

"That's right, someone will definitely win this battle!" Yang Zheng got on his horse, laughed, and rode away.

In the first round, he took more than [-] shi of grain from Puban and won the lining. Sima Zhao drove himself out of Hedong and gained face, which was barely a tie.

Tens of thousands of cavalry crossed the Yellow River again and set foot on the land of Guanzhong.

The scouts brought bad news, "Your Majesty, Yanghu's [-] troops have broken through Pinyang!"

Pinyang is the core of Yang Zheng's grain road, and this city was originally an important military location.

The north is Pinshan, the south is Pinshui, the water and soil are fertile, and it is the hometown of Qin general Wang Jian.

Seeing Yang Zheng's army returning, Yang Hu turned and attacked Pinyang halfway, with the intention of cutting off the grain road.

If there was no food from Pu Ban, Yang Zheng would feel a little flustered.

Now it doesn't matter.

Pin Yang cut off the grain road, but did not block Yang Zheng's retreat.

However, it is still not possible to open the situation.

Yang Hu refused to defend Pinyang, Sima Liang refused to defend Linjin, and Sima Ban refused to defend Tongguan. They were all fortified cities, and they were difficult to capture for a moment. Yang Zheng suddenly felt that he had nowhere to talk.

If he returns without success now, he can only watch Sima Zhao swallow the Kingdom of Shu.

Du Yu's partial teacher was also in jeopardy.

"The cities in Guanzhong are the weakest in Linjin. The subordinates have observed for many days. The defenders have been besieged for many days and have no fighting spirit. It is better to capture this city!" Meng Guan suggested.

Yang Zheng glanced at the towering city wall. Sima Liang may not have the will to fight, but the defenders on the city have no intention of letting go.

Moreover, Chen Qian's [-] troops are rushing towards Puban.

Sima Zhao's 13 troops are rushing to Tongguan.

"No, if you want to fight, hit Chang'an!"

No city in Guanzhong is more important than Chang'an.

In the past, the Weishui River was used as a barrier, but now it is freezing and the Weishui River is frozen. Yanghu's Weishui defense line is meaningless.

And his army is in Pinyang, so Chang'an must be empty of troops.

The strength of the cavalry is to move, and Sima Zhao's 13 infantry will be exhausted.

With the continuous long-distance raids, more and more pack horses were frozen to death and exhausted, and they were directly slaughtered.

After tossing back and forth like this, the faces of the soldiers were also a little tired.

Under the severe cold, every move requires more effort than usual.

Fortunately, the Xuanyi envoys continued to boost morale, and there were no complaints in the army.

To the south of the Wei River, Yang Zheng's cavalry seemed to be in a land without people.

Yang Hu gathered the remaining 5000 people in Chang'an and abandoned the outer camps.

As soon as Zheng County was captured, the scout team came to report: "Chen Qian entered Linjin, Sima Zhao entered Huayin, and Yang Hu went straight to Wannian!"

The intentions of the three armies were obvious, and they tried their best to surround themselves.

"Yanghu is a great threat. If our army attacks Chang'an, he will be behind our army and can support him at any time!" Pang Qing saw Yanghu's actions.

"Yang Hu marched for ten thousand years, in addition to supporting Chang'an, he also wanted to block our army's retreat!" Yang Zheng looked further.

It can be seen from Yang Hu's marching trajectory that he has been staring at the back.

"Wait, you're saying that Yanghu hasn't reached Wannian yet!" Yang Zheng's scout words suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Exactly, when this subordinate returned, the other army had just reached halfway!"

"How can you be sure that he is going to Wannian?" Pang Qing heard Yang Zheng's meaning.

"Yanghu sent a large number of scouts to scout around Wannian!" the scouts clasped their hands.

Yang Zheng saw the prey with a smile on his face. It doesn't matter whether Yang Hu goes to Wannian or not, the important thing is to leave Pinyang.

Shou Deyun Kai see Yueming.

After waiting for so long, I finally encountered a small flaw.

As long as it is a field battle, Yanghu will definitely lose!
Now Yanghu is not the watertight Yanghu more than ten years later.

Even in the Battle of Xiling ten years later, Yanghu's [-] troops were defeated by Lu Kang's [-] troops!

So it is obvious that Yang Hu is not the god of war.

His strengths lie in attacking people's minds, pacifying the people, and mobilizing the army, not in bloody battles!
Bloody battles are precisely his strengths!
"All generals listen to the order!" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice.

"The end is here!"

"Leave all the luggage, food, grass, and livestock behind. Jiang Faye led five thousand light cavalry to escort them. The cavalrymen all have two horses. Follow me to attack Yanghu!"
